I'm afraid the circumstances cannot be helped - it's part of my husband's job to be away for long periods of time and I have no control of this. I have to accept that for periods of 8 weeks at a time, I am a single mum, and it is hard. Especially, when I have behaviour like this to cope with. It seems as though my son is crying out for something, but when I try to get to the bottom of it, he says he's alright. | ||

I think you seem like you are doing the best you ca n. I am sure it is hard with your husband gone for such long periods. I wish I had some advise for you though.

I think all he's doing is feeling that since your husband is not around and he's the only other male figure, that it is his responsibility to make sure you're not alone and safe. Kinda replacing your husband while he's not there. My son did that for a while while we lived on our own (with my daughter) but I told him he didn't have to do all that, that he was a child and didn't need to carry all that responsibility on his shoulders. Try talking to him and see if he tells you how he feels. Good luck! | ||

I think it's sweet. I would love that if my SO were gone....I don't think it's strange at all, I think he's definately had some good role models when it comes to being nurturing and maybe he's seen him cuddle with you. It's not like some Michael Jackson thing.... | ||

My husband came back for a quick couple of days in the middle of his current 8 week period. My son has been acting extremely strange with him as though he's resenting him for being away. My two daughters have been great with him but my son has been distant and almost ignoring him. My husband wanted to take him out for a kick about, but my son refused to go and said that he wanted to stay at home. My husband was gutted and my son just started being a bit clingy with me. I had a talk with him about why he was behaving like this and that he should be making the most of the fact that his dad is home. I thought that maybe this sulking behaviour would blow over after a bit, but it didn't and my husband will be leaving again this evening with my son still behaving this way. I really don't know what to do! Help! | ||
